number of coins of each type.
​.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 rupee coins = 375 coins

50P coins =  600 coins

25P coins =  300 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of coins  = x

Since the ratio of number of coins is 5:8:4

hence the number of coins of 1 rupee, 50P, 25P will be 5x, 8x, 4x respectively.

Now,

Let the value of 1 rupee coins = 100P × 5x = 500x   [as 1 rupee = 100 P]

then, value of 50P coins =   50P × 8x = 400x

and, the value of 25P coins = 25P × 4x = 100x

The sum of coins = 750 = 75000P

So,

500x + 400x + 100x = 75000

1000x = 75000

x = 75

So the number of

1 rupee coins = 5 × 75 = 375 coins

50P coins = 8 × 75 = 600 coins

25P coins = 4 × 75 = 300 coins
